Even when it's -30F every morning? 850 posted by  woodsytf on  Sun Oct 5 18:52 CST 2008 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Mon Mar 2 08:37 CST 2009 [RELATED] i lived in new england for almost 7 years. BLOODY COLD in the winter sometimes. never used anything but 10w30 or 10w40. a new england tradition i recall is the remote starters for the cars everywhere. i would let my engine warm up for 2~3 minutes when its below freezing. the lower the difference between the high and low number of your oil the more actual 'oil stock' in the mix and fewer 'additives' so it should last longer before breakdown. i don't have the 850 manual but i cannot recall any reference to low viscosity oils, even in low temps. using the wrong oil can harm your engine, bear in mind that 5w 30 oil is thin and if your car is made to take a 10w 30 (usually the standard viscosity) using the 5w oil might not do your engine much good at all. good luck! -- -woodsytf '95 850 wagon 160k Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
